Counters and Matchups:

Bad against:

Tyrael: Smite ignores Barrier Field. El'druin's Might can be used to reach Reinhardt from behind.
Tracer:
Thanks to Blink, Tracer can make Barrier Field almost non-existent.
Mal'Ganis:
Having a high health would be Reinhardt's downfall against Mal'Ganis if he has Dark Conversion.

Others:
-Majority of Tanks.
-Heroes who can ignore Barrier Field.

Good against:

Mei:
Since Steadfast works well against CC and displacement effects, Reinhardt can deal with Mei's abilities with not much pressure.

Tips and Gameplay:

Playing as Reinhardt:


Reinhardt is a hardy tank who has a high health and durable enough against CC. However, unlike most Tanks, Reinhardt has no mobility in his base kit. Of course, Barrier Field is really effective and important against projectiles and skillshot abilities, mainly against Ranged Assassins.

Playing against Reinhardt:


When playing against Reinhardt, beware as he has a high health that allows him to stay in combat as long as possible and thanks to Steadfast, crowd controls and knockbacks are less effective against him. Even if you manage to reduce a certain percentage of Reinhardt's health, his team's Healers may recover that for him. So to deal with Reinhardt, try to find a way to get past his Barrier Field while avoid getting stunned by Earthshatter as this simple stun can lead to deadly combos.

Yeah. Although they said the problem was "Which ability should be blocked and which shouldn't". But yeah. That's true :(
